Since we are at war with terrorists - because they waged war on us first - death is a possibilty for any American citizen.
Soon, most people will not look at an unattended backpack on the street and continue standing by it.
They will begin doing what is done in Israel when the PLO or Hamas leaves an IED on the street - shout a warning and then everyone peacefully and orderly leaves the area.
That is similar to how people who fly now react to a hostile act aboard an airplane.
Another 9/11 will never occur again, because we have learned that the Muslim extremist terrorists will kill themselves and take us a long with them, unless we act.
Oh. You are one of those, Terrorism started in 2001 types huh?
Israel committed terrorism on United Kingdom. Please pick up a history book.
yes its a strange reaction difference isnt it.
there is not strong support for a volunteer army nor for a war that does not seem to represent the will of the people.
the standards of civilized behavior are different in the mideast.
killing is ok. the concept of a moral killing is much a part of mideast thinking.
no longer true here.
but maybe 50 years it go it was.
It's funny that you state that the war is not the will of the people, but they sure love the government contracting and defense contracting jobs. If, as a nation, did not participate in warfare, which constitutes a significant portion of our employment sector, we would be much worse off. When it comes down to it, all people care about is getting their check.

Great point. How many Americans in poor areas rely on the military for a way out? If the USA was economically thriving, enlisting would be way down.

That's exactly why I did it, to get out of my small town where I would go no where and find a way to go to school. I would estimate that over 70% of the people I was stationed with did it for the same reason as me.
Wow! Do you remember when the jews came to Israel before the nation was formed and Briton soldiers were there to keep the peace between the jews and the arabs? A good portion of jews formed Irgun and bombed hospitals and would kill the soldiers in the street. They did so to serve their political agenda, which is the very definition of terrorism.
